<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>I have been looping Ben in the discussion. He is, thus far, cool with letting us run with it.</div>

<div><br></div><div>My topics I would like to see are:</div><div><br></div><div>Arduino projects</div><div>Gaming related topics</div><div>Security</div><div>Rapid web development</div><div>Educational geeky projects for K-12</div>

<div><br></div><div>I will be more than happy to try and curate the content plus setup the tracks. I would also suggest we put the time into recording and publishing the content for people to watch at their leisure. It sucks to have all this cool discussion and have it trapped only in people's heads.</div>

<br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">The more I work with DNS both in my day job and in my work with my new business ,CENTS (which is being launched full time, by the way, as of February 1st), the more I become convinced that very few people, even the so-called geeks, truly understand the ins and outs of DNS. I for one would be interested in heading up a workshop on this topic, and in fact am already thinking about putting together a workshop on exactly this topic for another conference I'll be attending this summer up in Indiana.<div>

<br></div><div>Also, I'm no security expert, but did just finish taking an IT Security course last fall which covered all topics (albeit a bit briefly) covered in the CISSP exam. Not positive yet if I'm going to take the exam at some point in the near future, but security is also something I'm very, very interested in, and would be happy to help put in my 2 cents for that workshop. At any rate, I'd definitely try to attend that workshop!</div>

<div><br></div><div>Finally, I realize we have a lot of volunteers and excitement around the idea of the DevChatt conference, but let's not forget to loop in the original guys behind the conference, like Ben. That is, unless, they want to hand it off completely. Aaron, you know Ben. Thoughts? I'll forward the summary of this on to Ben and Lang and see what their thoughts are on the conference.</div>
